The Penguins will have a (likely optional) morning skate here in Buffalo at 11:30 a.m. in advance of tonight's game against the Sabres. I'll have live updates below, to be read from the bottom up.
• Looked like there was a whole new player out there but it was just Kevin Hayes with his face shaved.
• With Ryan Shea back in, it looks like Vladislav Kolyachonok will sit. He’s the last one out on the ice.
• Ryan Shea (finger injury) will play. Evgeni Malkin is still sidelined with an upper-body injury.
• Mike Sullivan confirms Tristan Jarry will start.
• Tristan Jarry isn’t skating this morning, usually that’s an indication he’s starting.
• Yeah, Rakell and Karlsson won. Rust was asked who won as they were walking back to the room. “Don’t worry about it,” he said.
• Sidney Crosby and Bryan Rust are playing Rickard Rakell and Erik Karlsson in their daily game of soccer-volleyball (I don’t know what you call it, it’s soccer but with a barrier and it’s head-to-head like a volleyball game over the barrier). Just going off vibes, I think Karlsson and Rakell are winning. Rust seems to be arguing a lot. But that’s standard.
